Woof. @joshtpm.bsky.social I covered another Michigan State House coffee hour. Quote from Rep: "“How is this going to end? I do think that there will be a conflict point where there will be either U.S. National Guard or active duty perpetrating violence on American citizens in a direct way..."

Anyone who tries to tell you that the GOP is not gutting (notice I did not say cutting, but GUTTING) Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is lying to your face. Not only that, they are effectively telling you they think you are stupid enough to believe it. #MOMSKY

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for). And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

The entire CDC lead program has been eliminated. Lead exposure can lead to many issues including anemia & irreversible brain damage in young children. It was <10 years ago we learned that 99,000 people in Flint Michigan had been exposed. If only eliminating programs eliminated the risk.
